Early start late finish, Cliffs garage is a lot less cluttered Mario now has the clutter and I came home with my blue 22. Took off at 4AM got home at 9PM but three guys are now happy, one has less stuff and two have new projects. And last but not least Steve has a load off his mind! Thanks to all three of you! Cliff, Mario and Steve for making everything go very smooth! " Another good Donzu day" :) :) :)

Ok Ok Mario bought Steve dads 22, I cried to him in an E-Mail. Being a good harted guy he said come and get it he had tooooo many prodjects, I said great. Next day he said Geee do me a Flavor pickup the drive I bought from Cliff 290 Trimmer, I said Ok. Could not ferry res so I drove around and up to Glastonbury met with Cliff helped clean out his garage of Marios parts then heade north to Marios picked up my new toy and had lunch then went south to Steves to get trailer title and my new diverters. Ran down to New London and took ferry back IE: 4 AM to 9 PM but well worth it. Fresh water 22 now on Long Island Ha Ha it did not go SOUTH!!!!!

By the way both deals Marios drive and the now my 22 were bought sight unseen both parties happy! A tribute to the power of the board and good people!

Phil,
Good to see you again!

Glad to hear that you are home in one piece! Bet if you had the boat key only the truck and trailer would have been on the ferry! :rolleyes:

I'll be sending the key UPS red Wednesday.

Cliff, I have a huge pile of parts! Thank you!
I'll be getting all this refinished and ready for install before I even take apart the Corsican.

Can't we postpone or cancel winter????

A P.S. grand daughter waited up for her birthday kiss last night, so all ended well. Bonnie likes the color of the boat but did make me promise to install the diverters. Going to have to find a warm place to work so I can get things done this winter. Maybe its time to clean the garage?

MOP...

Cliff is ALWAYS up for lunch.... and for getting away from work... LOL!

Glad to hear the wayward 22 has made its way safely down to the island.

Post some pix... I hear Robbie made the ole girl look really nice!

I assume Stevie swung by and swiped his diverters back?

What space? Cliff is still sardined in his garage and driveway. Cliff missed out on lunch I got to him pretty early, Mario was the one I free loaded off! Dying for the KEYS! Still have not heard the darn thing run, talk about trust!

M.O.P.
Good luck with the new boat. I expect to see it next year out in the Peconic. That should ride a lot better when it kicks up out there!

Hi Gary thanks my old Bod could use a little softer ride, but I do love my 16. Bonnie wants me to sell it but I'm not sure I can let it go that easy, will have to think on it. The 22 is dark blue with a SB, has a few cosmetic issues but nothing bad. As long as I can find a warm spot to work on it over the winter it will be done by spring.

A few pumps on the throttle and off it went, sounds really good going to try to play with it sunday suppose to warm up a little. Have to check with Steve it sounds like it has a decent cam and my neihbors love the open exhaust ME TOO! Sounded so good ran and got the phone called my sweetie and held the phone by the pipes now she can't wait till sunday.
